Just hours after Indian missiles struck terror camps in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK) under Operation Sindoor, US President Donald Trump reacted to it, expressing hope that the conflict “ends very quickly."
“It’s a shame. We just heard about it as we were walking in the doors of the oval. Just heard about it. I guess people knew something was going to happen based on a little bit of the past. They’ve been fighting for a long time. They’ve been fighting for many, many decades. And centuries, actually, if you think about it. I hope it ends very quickly," Trump said.
New Delhi described the late-night strikes, dubbed Operation Sindoor, as “measured and non-escalatory," stressing that no Pakistani military facilities were targeted. Sources said the strikes were conducted from the Indian side and were carefully calibrated, with targets selected with precision. Reports suggested that Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) headquarters may have been among the sites hit.
“India has demonstrated considerable restraint in the selection of targets and the method of execution," the government said, amid fears of a military confrontation between the nuclear-armed neighbours. It added that terrorist infrastructure in Pakistan and PoK was hit across at least nine sites.
The Pakistan Army claimed that mosques and civilian structures were struck and said it was assessing the damage. Reports of heavy gunfire from the Pakistani side along the Line of Control (LoC) followed soon after the strikes. Indian forces were said to be responding to the firing.
The Pakistan Army acknowledged that Bahawalpur, Kotli, and Muzaffarabad were hit, and said that all Pakistan Air Force aircraft were airborne. It warned of a response “at a time and place of its own choosing."
